Charming 4-Bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Amherst
69 S. Pleasant Street The Grand Block Building
Located in the vibrant center of Amherst, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment offers both historic charm and modern convenience. Just steps away from Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, residents will enjoy unparalleled walkability to the town's many amenities, including restaurants, cafes, movie theaters, parks, nightclubs, and boutique shops.
The apartment is situated within the iconic Grand Block Building, a distinguished historic property with deep roots in Amherst's history. Originally the site of the town's first school in 1765, the current structure was built by the Hunt brothers in 1881, with a fourth floor added in 1913. Recently acquired by a locally-based, family-owned real estate firm with over 50 years of experience in Amherst, the building is once again under caring, local management.
The unit features a tasteful blend of old and new, including exposed brick, high ceilings, granite countertops, gleaming hardwood floors, and a fully renovated bathroom. Heat and hot water are included for your convenience.
Living at the Grand Block means you're at the center of everything Amherst has to offer, with easy access to four local colleges, UMASS, scenic bike paths, arts venues, and public green spaces.
Parking:
Residents may apply for an in-town street parking permit through the Town of Amherst (fee applies), or purchase a 24-hour annual parking pass for the nearby Boltwood Parking Garage.
